Where Are They Now? (on VH-1) tracks down the musicians that made a deep impression. Their songs formed the soundtrack to Generation X's formative years. It's time to get nostalgic for the '80s and early '90s, and we're there.
In exclusive interviews, you'll hear not only what it was like to be on top, but also what it was like to disappear. Why did they go away? What do they do now? From hip-hop stars and divas to R&B crooners and club DJs, WATN takes us from yesterday to today.
Eighties heartthrob Corey Hart once confessed: "I wear my sunglasses at night." He now wears them all day, living in the Bahamas with his wife and three children.
MC Flavor Flav of Public Enemy always knew what time it was - now he's on top of the traffic conditions too! He's a wild-stylin' morning traffic reporter for a hit NYC radio program.
Kid 'N Play rose to fame together, then went their separate ways: Kid's still playing around as a stand-up comic, and Play found the religion in rap.
Ray Parker, Jr. asked us "Who you gonna call?" in the title track of Ghostbusters, but now he's asking, "Who's your daddy?" We catch up with him and his four kids in a game of hoops.
"Gloria" diva Laura Branigan is back after years out of the spotlight nursing her husband. We follow as she blazes a comeback trail through gay clubs, theme parks, and the Off-Broadway stage.
Dance club favorites Black Box were at the center of the '90s lip-synching controversy. But producer Daniele Davoli didn't have to eat crow forever-he's riding high again as a popular Ibiza DJ.
Al B. Sure! had a top 10 hit with "Nite and Day." Now you can only hear him at night - Sunday night. Every week in San Francisco on KISS FM, this new DJ stirs up a quiet storm.
